Documents Required for GAMCA Medical Examination (Complete Guide)
Before attending your GAMCA / WAFID medical examination, it is important to carry the correct documents to avoid delays or rejection at the medical centre. Since all GCC countries require applicants to undergo an official GAMCA medical test before approving a work visa, employment visa, or family visa, having the proper paperwork ensures a smooth and successful process.
In this guide, we explain all documents required for the GAMCA medical examination, along with useful tips for applicants traveling to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman.

Your original passport is the most important document required for the GAMCA medical test.
The medical centre will verify:
- Your passport number
- Name and date of birth
- Nationality
- Passport validity
2. Passport Photocopies
Medical centres usually require one or more photocopies of:
- Passport front page

Tip: Carry at least 2–3 copies, as some centres may keep one copy for their file.
3. GAMCA / WAFID Medical Slip (Online Registration Slip)
